The greatest God in King David life begins not only in his anointing to becoming king, but as he grew in the sheep fields of his father, playing and tending sheep. Even with times of struggle there was no struggle in his relationship to God. He understood God knew all about him and there was no place he could hide from God. If you on the good side of God there is no fear of God and his wrath. There is the question of why one is in the predictament one is in, because the idea of right and wrong seems to have spiritual justification. However if you take a child that is abused from birth to adulthood the question the question is does God really care for me. The answer is still yes. Yet the child/adult going to have to dig harder into their soul perhaps to see when God showed he cared for them and the awareness of God being there. In our struggles do we know God is there? Does God hear the cries of a child in the night from abuse or even in the day?

The peace only Christ can bring through hope in him maybe not be understood until he brings through salvation. Is there peace in the storm of a child of abuse? The answer is not so define when a person is in torment. Pain and suffering of body and soul is real. To deal with the point God cares for you in the storm might be a little harder to understand, because that other kids has lollipops and gum drops, and the child abused has welts on their back or signs of other types of abuse in their life, that anything else positive is not. Trauma being far worse in a child needing helping and the assurance of God love for them even greater. Why does horrible things even happen to a child, it from the original sin of man called disobedience that sin entered the world. Sin grows worse in the world we live in and man/child must deal with the sin that been since the beginning of man fall. No matter the innocents of a child, the abuser is the one that cares not for the child or anyone they would abuse/take their freedom to be in pursuit of happiness from.

Esau and Jacob grew up one being loved by God and the other being hated by God according to Paul. Neither in appearance of abuse but their role in life chosen by God before they were born. The older would serve the younger. God loved the younger more then the older by giving one a great position? What if the angels of heaven were to say God's son had a greater position then I, and yet he was made lower then the angels were. What kind of God gives position to people? What kind of God makes one seem more of a vessel of dishonor then one of honor. Yet our bodies have individual parts of honor and dishonor in it.

We can not play the honor and dishonor cards with God for did he not create both with a purpose? Position has little to do with greatness of God's faithfulness to man/woman/child. The child of abuse just as precious in God's sight as the one with ruby slippers and a princess outfit fit for the kingdom of heaven.

If we think of how schools pigeon hole kids by intelligents, it not to give honor to them, no they part of honor society, special programs if they are smarter and so forth. Based solely on achievement and ability and the others made to feel they are lesser because of their inability to achieve or to gain those same opportunities. Does that mean those kids are less qualified, less equal, or less skilled, not necessarily, it based on if they are able to learn the same way the educator is instructing and not based on their ability to grow and learn as a being in the way their mind works. Yet the Bible declares we all are equal in his sight there is neither Greek or Jew, male or female, in God's sight, we all are equal as being he created.

What makes us equal is not background, our ability, but our faith in him, because he faithful to love us all in his greatness because they believe upon him. Our position given by how we are design and our ability, but not by our worthiness to be his child. Each child of God not greater then each other, but all with different abilites for a purpose. Some of us never caring if we have the wealthy life style but would not mind a taste of it once in a while. Yet our ability to be great begins at servanthood of Christ, who came lesser then his position, to demonstrate his love for mankind. In the process he also demonstrates the will of God being more important then the laws of man, but also servant to the laws of man on earth with paying the price of consequences for those laws. God's will does still triumph over the laws of man through the resurrection. Through Christ position on the right hand of the Father did not change. We break the laws of man there is consequences for our actions, but we break the laws of faith in God there be consequences for those law as well. Called the eternal lake of fire. Did God not demonstrate his servanthood through his Son coming to heal, and to demonstrate his power as the Son of God to calm the storms/elements of this world? Yet he served even through the cross. God serves us still through caring for us and knowing us all by name, knowing us in our positions and given us ability by his Spirit to do the impossible sometimes. Ability beyond our normal ability.

Point faith has nothing to do with your circumstances, your position in life, or your ability. Faith has to do with your own relationship to God, whether you believe or do not believe. God has designed you to be you, but did not designed you to be mistreated for eternity, or for a life times. He did not choose you not to learn to be overcomer and achiever in life. He did not choose you because you had a cute adorable face. Instead he chose you because he created and loved you even before you were born.

God though he sent his Son to earth to serve mankind, he also sent him to suffer for our salvation for our sins. That perhaps we stop beating ourselves up over our failings. That we just learn to turn away from our sin and continue on in life to the best of our ability. Jesus was not crowned with a beautiful flower wreath but crowned with thorns that pierced his head. He was bruised for our transgression of not honoring his house, his name, or him. Yet he rose in victory promising us that same victory if we only believe in his Son. We gain victory through faith in him. How great is God's faithfulness to man? He wants no one to perish, but all to have everlasting life, but he not going to make you receive it. The consequences of sin plague our world, but how we choose to believe is based on faith. How we choose to receive the knowledge of God's power and worthiness to be called one's God is based on our faith in him. If our anger of our situation is at God then we fail to understand, God did not design us to be in a bad situation that is man's fault, and God does not always remove bad situation caused by man from us, but he promise to take us through if we will allow him too. He took his Son through the cross, depart from him and took him out of the grave/hell. Took away from the torment of sin. He will do that for you and I too, if we will have faith in Him.

Dear Heavenly Father you are faithful to your children who trust in you, help them to be overcomers and not to be victim of their making and choosing, by believing in you. In Jesus precious name, Amen.

5 For unto the angels hath he not put in subjection the world to come, whereof we speak.
6 But one in a certain place testified, saying, What is man, that thou art mindful of him? or the son of man, that thou visitest him?
7 Thou madest him a little lower than the angels; thou crownedst him with glory and honour, and didst set him over the works of thy hands:
8 Thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet. For in that he put all in subjection under him, he left nothing that is not put under him. But now we see not yet all things put under him.
9 But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.
10 For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.
11 For both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren,
12 Saying, I will declare thy name unto my brethren, in the midst of the church will I sing praise unto thee.
13 And again, I will put my trust in him. And again, Behold I and the children which God hath given me.
14 Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;
15 And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.
16 For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham.
17 Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people.
18 For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted.

Romans 9:20-23 KJV
20 Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus?
21 Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour?
22 What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction:
23 And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory,
